How to Build an Automated Redstone Elevator

Assembling the Elevator Floor

You can construct functional survival elevators that transport players and cargo between vertical floors:

1. Lay down platform blocks to create the floor and frame of your elevator cabin. If you plan to build an elevator that climbs past normal height constraints without altitude limitations, use End world platforms instead of standard ones.

2. Build your elevator walls and ceiling directly on top of the platform base, ensuring all cabin parts connect through solid blocks above the lowest layer.

3. Clear any loose or unlinked blocks that fall outside the active boundary to prevent them from detaching when the elevator moves.

Automating Vertical Travel

1. Connect redstone controls, such as buttons or levers, to the platform frame to dictate the upward or downward push.

2. Add redstone repeaters or signal delay circuits along your shaft. These delays allow the elevator to pause at specific landings and travel automatically between stops.

3. Wire redstone circuits at your arrival stations to send the platform back down when a trip finishes.
